The menu was the usual--carrot loaf, dressing, green beans, cranberries, and the favorite dish, an enormous bowl of mashed potatoes. Omnivores are allowed to bring their own food, so we did have some turkey and gravy available. Dessert was pumpkin and pecan pie, all vegan.
The kids' tables were by far the most lively. Large amounts of food were consumed and spilled on the floor, and all the kids had room left for pie.
Therese made us all laugh--a few days before, Fermin had told her that if she pulled her hair back from her forehead she looked just like Uncle Brent--so she remembered that and demonstrated it. It was so funny that she remembered that and when she was sitting on Brent's lap she reached up and showed us. (Yes, all of us adults realized that there isn't a whole lot of resemblance between them. They are both cute and entertaining though.)
